It only took me 200, however I had 1 good run out of 100. Took me 2 runs to finish (died to crystal wyvern due to my ptera being stupid). I understand the spawning part , However I personally feel that spawning in a wyvern talon or a wyvern isn’t a good idea since it’s really one map based on RNG. The other problem is if we are only allowed to spawn in wyvern talons then getting primal crystal without an alpha will take longer. Ultimately it is not my decision and if you change the rules then I will run the category again , however if we are allowed to spawn in talons from alpha wyverns then we should be also able to spawn in primal crystal .

I want to make changes (only for Crystal Isles):

• increase dino count to 1.0
• allow to spawn "Alpha Crystal Talon" and 10 "Primal Crystal" only once per run.

That will solve mainly alpfa wywern rng and little bit argy rng.

Now i recording king titan default strat. After this i will record Rockwell default strat. And one funny valguero jumping mesh. Tomorrow i will run The Island on Default.

I think it is absolutely absurd that someone would complain about RNG. Ark is a game built around rng and several other survival games have RNG in their runs. Speedrunning requires skill but its only the best who can turn the good luck into good times and people should be rewarded for this. Its part of the game. I think people should be rewarded for their time spend grinding.

i would like to input into this because i have played crystal isle and have run it multiple times and there are very simple ways of of manipluating cystal wyvern spawns in a way to produce more consistent spawns. If you are really going to cry about rng and taking 30 seconds to restart to get the perfect location to then not get a alpha wyvern then i will stop going for island run just to run the map it self cause its honestly one of the most brain dead maps in the game also please don't reject peoples runs without talking to the other mods or just talk to the person involved if the reason is on a unusual rule or one that can be debated about.

@rossoserous

so what are these simple ways of manipulation?

besides that we won't discuss @IridescentZenith case here, she already opened a thread for that
